Referral Disclosure
Disclosure for realtor, partner, vendor, and customer referral relationships.
Referral sources
SmartStart can help a business track where leads and referrals come from so the business can understand what is working.
Tracking
Tracking a referral source is for operational reporting and follow-up, not a hidden guarantee of treatment or outcome.
Compensation disclosure
If a business has compensated referral relationships, those should be handled transparently and consistently with applicable rules.
No steering guarantee
The existence of a referral relationship does not guarantee a specific recommendation, outcome, or customer decision.
Client choice
Clients remain free to choose their own inspector, contractor, agent, or follow-up provider unless a binding external agreement says otherwise.
Compliance review
The business using SmartStart remains responsible for understanding the referral rules that apply in its market.
This page explains referral visibility in plain English. Add jurisdiction-specific legal wording if your business needs it.
